Consult experts

Selling a business does not only involve transferring property. A lot of other, often complex elements must be also taken into account. Relying on the expertise of your Desjardins account manager is your best strategy.

Strategy

The first decision you'll have to make is to identify which of the following scenarios best serves your interests and provides you with the continuity you're looking for:

• Transfer to one or more family members.
• Transfer to key employees.
• Partial transfer to a shareholding-workers' cooperative.
• Selling to an outside party.
• Repurchase by funds specialized in buying businesses.
